The alleged threat surfaced amid controversy over the ruling. Coverage from Yahoo Sports, The Daily Beast, New York Post and GOLF.com highlights sharp reactions from fellow players.

Rory McIlroy and Kevin Kisner criticized DeChambeau, while Scottie Scheffler defended him and called for stricter rules.
